Humingi ng paumanhin ang gobyerno ng Pilipinas sa South Korea kaugnay sa kontrobersyal na kidnap-slay ng isang negosyanteng Korean sa loob mismo ng headquarters ng pulisya sa Camp Crame.
Ipinaabot ni Presidential Spokesman Ernesto Abella ang “sincerest and deepest regrets” ng gobyerno at tiniyak na kagad mapapanagot ang mga salarin sa pagkamatay ni Jee Ick-Joo.
“We apologize to the South Korean government and people for this irreparable loss but we commit to the full force of the law to ensure that justice is served and not delayed. We wish to take this occasion to express condolences and sympathies of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte and the Filipino people to Mrs. Choi Kyung-jin, the widow of Mr. Jee Ick-joo, the South Korean national who met untimely death while in police custody,” sabi ni Abella sa news conference sa Palasyo.
